THE QUEENSLAND University of Technology is holding an international workshop and school on Nanotechnology.
The event, titled Nanostructures for Sensors, Electronics, Energy and Environment (NanoS-E3), will be held at Peppers Salt Resort in Queensland from 27 September to 2 October 2015.
The workshop and school will focus on the design, fabrication and characterisation of functional nanometer-scaled objects, with implications for the rapidly emerging areas of nanoscale science and technology, including sensors, electronics, energy and environment.
The event will look at new advances in the nanotechnology field which are poised to have long-range implications in a wide variety of different scientific and engineering disciplines, as well as the future growth of the world economy.
The workshop follow on the successful iterations in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2013. While those events were collaborations between Australia and Italy, this fifth edition will be opened to other international scientists.
The five-day event will commence with a 2-day school followed by a 3-day workshop.
The event is expected to cover nanoscale material topics, including semiconductor nanostructures metal-oxide nanostructures, carbon/graphene, conducting polymers and organic molecules.
Applications to be covered include quantum computing, nanoelectronic devices, optoelectronics, solar cells, water purification, nanoscale integration, nanofabrication tools and techniques, and chemical sensors.
